This is due to the naturally occurring hydrogen peroxide. Unfortunately, these properties are fairly short lived when used internally or externally as the body’s natural defenses convert the hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen by an enzyme called catalase. However, Manuka honey has additional non-peroxide activity (NPA) which comes from an organic compound called methylglyoxal (MGO) and two others, dihydroxyacetone (DHA) and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) . The wound-healing properties of honey, as well as its antimicrobial effects, make it uniquely suited to treat these kinds of ulcers.
